Holywell Bay..

One of my new favourite places, Holywell Bay near Newquay in Cornwall. With a National Trust car park providing convenient parking, sand dunes, cliffs, rocky islands and the most amazing surf, this is a beach definitely worth a visit. More to follow.

The way you captured this beach reminds me of the California Coast. It is a very nice impression of the sunny aspect of Cornwall. (I know this because I am a great fan of Doc Martin and Port Isaac.) England has some other beautiful sandy beaches, for instance, near Norfolk. (I know this because I am also a great fan of the Kingdom series.) We Americans usually only get to see the rocky coasts of Scotland, or the Cliffs of Dover on British Drama, so this is quite efreshing. Thank you.

Thank you very much. I too like Doc Martin but as a Cornwall resident, I sometimes grumble about the fact that the sun is always shining and of course the reality is very different or at least it has been for the last 6 years or so with very wet summers. This year however, the sun really did shine quite a lot and I’ve been enjoying capturing sunny Cornwall for a change. September especially has been an exceptional month with very mild temperatures and lots of sunshine.

Thank you very much Andy. I was attracted by the waves creating this almost perfect horizontal line in the surf and then I noticed the surfer, just what I needed to put it all in perspective so to speak.

Thank you Malcolm. I can’t really understand why I hadn’t been to the beach before. I’m a national trust member so there’s a convenient and free car park and the beach really does have everything, dunes, cliffs, sand and surf of course, something for everybody!

Thank you Otto. I don’t know quite why this surfer was on his own. There were plenty of other surfers further up the beach but I’m glad he decided to branch out on his own. He was just what I needed to complete the picture! :-)
